Herpes Markers Testing Market to Record an Impressive Growth Rate During the Forecast 2015 to 2021

Herpes is a type of infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Herpes is mainly categorized into two forms: oral herpes and genital herpes. Oral herpes leads to the occurrence of cold sores around the face and mouth. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease which affects the genital organs, buttocks, and anal area. Other herpes infections can affect the skin, eyes, and other parts of the body. HSV can be dangerous in newborn babies and people with weak immune systems. There are two types of HSV occurrences in the environment: HSV type 1 and HSV type 2. HSV type 1 primarily causes cold sores, and HSV type 2 leads to genital herpes. Most people get HSV type 1 in their childhood and adult stages. This virus can be spread by skin-to-skin contact with an adult who carries the virus. Most people get HSV type 2 through sexual contact. Some people do not report any symptoms of herpes. However, others get sores near the area where the virus has entered into the body. These sores turn into blisters and become itchy and painful.
